I’m going to be a dad in a few weeks, and honestly, I have no idea what makes a diaper bag actually good. There are so many options out there backpack style, tote style, expensive ones, budget ones and it’s hard to tell what’s worth it and what’s just hype.

For any experienced parents out there, what’s the best diaper bag for parents? I’m looking for something practical, easy to carry, and durable enough to last a while. Bonus if it has lots of pockets and is easy to clean. Would love to hear what’s worked for you.

Thanks!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and we're at a loss of where to even start with diaper bags. We have plenty of friends with kids, but every one seems to have a gripe about washability, durability, etc. None seems truly satisfied with their purchase other than just having enough pockets. We know they don't generally make them like the used to, but we plan on having two kids, so something that will be able to hold enough stuff and last long enough for a toddler and a newborn to two toddlers would be great! Most bags these days come with a changing pad either attached or just slides inside and insulated bottle pockets. We plan on breastfeeding so an insulated pocket is a must! We don't know the gender this time around so neutral options are appreciated; besides, it's gotta match every outfit, haha!
